DCA is unbelievable! Protective of local pilots YES. I'm an expat, having being offered another company position as the relevant company cannot find the quality pilot skills they want; but DCA now says an expat must resign its current local employment, leave the country for 6 months, then reapply. If that is not protecting the market, and as a result reducing the chances of expats passing on skills and training , then Malaysia expectation of being a developped country by 2020 is another joke.
Common DCA, wake up and let us help you out, so the above incidents with AA as an example, will reduce!
